Scouting for Corn Diseases and Timing Fungicide Applications

The most important factor determining the value of a foliar fungicide application is disease pressure. Foliar diseases can occur anywhere corn is grown in North America but are more common in the warmer, more humid growing areas of the South and East. Gib Ellis, Pioneer Field Agronomist, discusses the importance of scouting fields for diseases like leaf blight and Southern Rust. Early detection and perfectly-timed fungicide applications can help combat foliar diseases.
